Our MISSION
The Global Methodist Church exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ
and spread scriptural holiness across the globe.
At the heart of the Global Methodist Church is a deep desire to surrender fully to the one true God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and to live out a passionate devotion to what matters most to Him.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we envision a worldwide movement of disciples who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly. Jesus calls us to love God wholeheartedly and our neighbors as ourselves, and we strive to embody His extravagant love in all we do.
We are entrusted with a lifesaving, transforming message and are committed to sharing the whole counsel of God with all peoples—boldly, fearlessly, and with unwavering faith.
Rooted in Scripture and led by the Spirit, we seek to advance God’s Kingdom in every culture and community. As a global church, we value the gifts of every member, walking together in mutual love, humility, and service—especially toward the vulnerable—as we partner in God’s mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ and transform the world.

The Vietnam Annual Conference held its convening Annual Conference in mid-September and has quickly moved into its work. With a focus on leadership training , congregational support and church planting , the conference is advancing its mission through outreach that spans local communities and international partnerships. “We believe our mission is to make disciples of Christ in our communities and throughout the world,” said Rev. Ma Linh, Conference Superintendent. Leadership programs include coaching cohorts, pastoral training workshops and peer-learning groups, where clergy and ministry leaders exchange experiences and build connections. Church health assessments, consulting and revitalization help congregations examine their ministries, clarify their mission and identify community needs. The establishment of regional mission hubs have brought their congregations together to collaborate on outreach projects. International partnerships with sister churches have strengthened local evangelism, leadership training and humanitarian work. At the community level, churches are mobilizing members to serve through tutoring, refugee support, prison ministry, neighborhood evangelism, while also participating in short-term mission projects and abroad. Discipleship programs integrate mentoring, spiritual formation, and teaching on scriptural holiness to help believers grow in faith and prepare for leadership. As Rev. Linh shared, “Our churches are embracing a global mindset and seeing missions as both local and global.” Church planting efforts include new congregations, fresh expressions of church and micro-churches, particularly in underserved communities. Assessment, training, financial assistance and coaching are intended to help church planters establish sustainable ministries. Across the conference, congregations share resources, collaborate on mission projects and provide practical support forpastors and churches. Joint initiatives and conference-wide prayer opportunities offer additional ways to connect. Currently, there are 18 churches in the conference supported by 20 clergy. Conference priorities for 2027 include strengthening pastoral health through retreats, access to counseling, and peer support, as well as expanding missional collaboration across districts. The conference also plans to expand their digital ministry resources to support hybrid worship and online discipleship, while advancing church planting efforts. Prayer initiatives and teaching on scriptural holiness will remain central to its efforts to deepen spiritual renewal among Global Methodists throughout the conference. Together, these priorities aim to build a healthier and missionally aligned conference. One pastor’s experience illustrates the impact of the conference’s investment in pastoral health and church revitalization. During a difficult season, the pastor joined a conference-led coaching cohort that provided mentoring, peer support, and practical revitalization tools. Through this process, the pastor regained clarity and confidence in ministry. Within a year, the church experienced renewed attendance, launched new ministries, and rediscovered a strong sense of mission. What began as an investment in one pastor ultimately helped renew an entire congregation. The Vietnam Annual Conference is laying a foundation for sustainable growth by investing in leaders, strengthening congregations, and equipping churches to serve their communities and reach beyond them. As they move into 2027, their focus on discipleship, scriptural holiness, and shared mission reflects a commitment to making disciples of Christ and spreading scriptural holiness.
REFLECTIONS FROM JOHANNESBURG GENERAL CONFERENCE 2026
By Tyson Heins, Heartland Annual Conference “Bwana Yesu asifiwe,” Swahili for “Praise be to the Lord Jesus,” was one of many things I learned while visiting Kenya after the 2026 General Conference of the Global Methodist Church. I’m Tyson Heins, a lay member of Ebenezer GMC in Olpe, Kansas, Heartland General Conference delegate, and member of the Global Episcopacy Committee since 2024. I met Pastor Chrispus Ogari Aboki on WhatsApp while notifying Conference Superintendents of their assigned bishops. Our friendship grew, and he invited me to visit Nyarenda Fellowship Ebenezer Church and his village after General Conference. The Rev. Everlyne Esther Kukah, Kenyan General Conference delegate and member of Maji International, accompanied me on the flight from Johannesburg to Nairobi and helped me reach my hotel. Maji International provides sustainable clean-water initiatives and hygiene education in Kenya. Before leaving Nairobi, we collected supplies from Maji’s office for a water filter distribution and purchased 48 Ekegusii Bibles from The Bible Society of Kenya to bring to a water hygiene training. The training at local churches demonstrated how to assemble, use, and maintain the filters. In addition to providing the water hygiene training and resources, we distributed Bibles, a gift from members of Ebenezer & Madison GMCs, praying over the Bibles and those receiving them. Although laity, I preached Tuesday and Thursday with Rev. Wilkins Ombongi translating. Drawing from Genesis 11, Isaiah 64:6, Mark 10:17-31, and Luke 16:19–31, I explained that although we spoke different languages, all humanity was created by God as one family, divided by languages due to our disobedience, that no one reaches God through personal righteousness, and that Jesus bridges our separation from God through His sacrificial death. I invited them to surrender to Jesus and follow Him fully. In my second message, I asked whether my Kenyan brothers and sisters had shared their faith or invited anyone to church this year. Jeremiah’s costly obedience showed how strongly God’s Word can burn within compelling believers to speak (Jeremiah 20:7–13). Jesus likewise taught that His followers should expect opposition, fear God rather than people, confess Christ openly, and live set apart from the world (Matthew 10). Adapting Bishop Greenway’s five spiritual growth stages, I urged believers to mature into spiritual parents who share Jesus boldly , closing with prayer for courage and conviction. Many villagers invited me to pray in their homes. I knelt with them, holding hands, and prayed for healing, restored sight, children returned from exile, work, finances, and provision. Before leaving each home, I placed my hand on each doorframe praying God would bless everyone who lived there or passed through it exceedingly and abundantly. While preparing to leave, the congregation honored me with a red-checkered Maasai Shuka, giraffe figurine, and white marble lion. A woman who I had prayed with called it the Lion of Judah for God’s servant. At a tea plantation along the road back to Nairobi, God orchestrated meeting James, a plantation supervisor, who taught me about tea leaf harvesting and pruning. James asked to see a U.S. dollar, so I handed him a $1 bill which He inspected with joy asking if he could keep it. His face lit up when I said it was his and he asked “What’s it worth?” When I replied 127 Kenyan Shillings, he explained that was a fifth of his plantation workers’ daily wages. Later, I asked Collins and Mallo what they thought James would do with that dollar who guessed he would keep it, showing it to everyone telling them about the day the mzungu (foreigner) gave it to him. They said they would not be surprised it that dollar was passed down in his family after James passes. I was humbled that something of minimal value to me could have such great value to James. Even the smallest gift can be multiplied by God to do great things for His Kingdom. John Wesley once said, "Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen, such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven upon earth." It is vital to our mission that our GMC laity embrace their role of always being ready to give a reason for the hope we have working with our clergy to spread scriptural holiness across the globe.
